Words: Sam Geary
FEET have dropped a raucous ball of energy in new single 'Outer Rim', taken from their debut album 'What’s Inside Is More Than Just Ham', due out on October 4 via the band’s own Clapped Records.
The blistering, mosh-pit inducer 'Outer Rim' delivers full-on indie-punk. “The song started out under the alias Prang Meets Pong Meets Peng Meets Ping, since those were the only viable adjectives at the time with which we could describe it. We soon came around to rationality and scrapped the whole bastard thing," the band say. "Using the remaining debris, the song was soon reinvigorated into a punky-boi, with lyrical inspiration coming from seeing a shooting star whilst at our summer retreat."
"The single then morphed into a new alias ‘Mel Gibson’ and was taken to the band’s album sessions “where a fresh-faced Ben Firth ‘mozammed’ all over it, adding an extra minute to the workload," they add.
“We were then put in touch with Mel Gibson’s lawyers, who, enraged with the title, threatened to release the unseen third instalment of Passion of the Christ. With the sanity of humanity at stake, we scrapped the name and decided a lyric from the song was much more, you know, not Mel Gibson. Thank us later."
